Mount Curwood, elevation 1,978 feet (603 m), in L'Anse Township, Baraga County is the second highest point in the U.S. state of Michigan.
Named in honor of Michigan author, James Oliver Curwood, Mt. Curwood was long designated as Michigan's highest spot until a resurvey in 1982 with modern technology determined that nearby Mount Arvon is actually 1,979 feet high - one foot taller than Mt. Curwood.
